Here is command to start AVD with your own system.img

emulator -avd AVD_NAME -initdata userdata.img -ramdisk ramdisk.img -system system.img -sdcard ~/songs_for_music_app/Music_card.img

for source do git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/sdk and follow Modifying Android emulator source code this.

or else follow this for whole android source https://source.android.com/source/downloading.html
